The day I put my name on a blog

Here I am!   My name is Ainslie Hunter and I am online.

It feels silly to write that statement as I have been writing, creating and interacting online for a while now.  But they were on other people’s spaces. 

On my own spaces, Study Skills Mentor and Cutting Horse Link, I make a point not to say my name.  Great for privacy…bad for trying to get a job online. 

So here I am….

Now what should I do. Because first posts on blogs are the pits…really the most awkward posts to write. 

I know… I will do the Problogger Link Challenge (with a twist).

Problogger Link Challenge

7 posts that link to 7 themes (except I will link them to my current online work that is scattered over the web)

First Post:  An Introduction to Study SkillsWow I got straight to the point on this post didn’t I.  To be honest, I had written the first 30 posts before going live and then made those posts into a free ebook.  Great strategy but not a mind blowing ground breaking post.

A Post You Enjoyed Writing The Most:  Postcards from Grandparents  I liked writing this post because it just flowed so easily.  Simple is sometimes the best!  I am a contributor for Parentella.

A Post that Had a Great Discussion:  Dealing with the Difficult  Guest Post that was actually an example of a post I had written to try and get a job as a education blogger

A Post on Someone Else’s Blog that I wished I had written:  Anything by the Pioneer Woman - she oozes everything that is great about connecting with people online

A Post with a Title I am Proud of:  How a $50 packet of Tim Tams could get you a Blogger Job 

A Post I wish more people had read:  The Ian Francis Story:  Living the Legend A review post with a difference on a great man and great horse trainer.

My most visted post ever:  2010 NCHA Select Sale  This really isn’t a post.  It is a list of horses that were for sale at the NCHA Futurity and I posted the results live. This was new in the ‘cutting horse’ industry and wildly popular because of the updates.

So welcome to my blog!
